Lib Dems on Palestine

Support for the aspirations — and rights — of the Palestinian people aligns with the Liberal Democrats’ core values of liberty, equality, democracy, community, human rights, and environmentalism.  

Advocating Peace, Justice and Freedom for Palestine

The Party supports a just two-state solution and has called for urgent action to uphold international law and protect the rights of Palestinians to peace, justice, accountability, and self-determination. This position is shared by liberal allies across the world, who continue to speak out for justice and peace for Palestinians.  

The Liberal Democrats have consistently called on the UK government to  

  • Recognise the State of Palestine within its pre-1967 borders  
  • Stop trade with Israel’s illegal settlements 
  • Sanction extremist Israeli officials, including Netanyahu and IDF generals
  • Ban all UK arms exports to Israel until it complies with International Humanitarian Law
  • Uphold international law, including by respecting in full the ICJ’s advisory opinion on the illegality of the occupation and the ICC’s arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials
